I have spent the last few days doing a song and storytelling event with George. The stories of and around the Erie and NY State Barge canals. Usually stuff never heard anywhere else and in some cases attributed to one person.

At my request George sang his song The River Boatman's Curse. The song of the Batteaux drivers I mentioned on John Robert's review.
Just fine/

George is an elegant song writer. He did a number of his original songs that I have never heard so I can't tell you all the names. Accept my word that they are finely crafted songs.

George's story telling is equally good. His history and general knowledge of the canal comes only from exceptional effort. I hope you can find the chance to catch George in live performance before a small and attentive crowd.

I hope I get the time to work George again and often.
